PERTH CASINO ROYAL
COMMISSION — FINAL REPORT
186. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Minister for Racing and Gaming:
Before I begin, I would also like to
briefly recognise our reigning Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon
champion, Ash Barty. I wish her good luck as she embarks on a new chapter of
life. She has inspired a generation of Australians to take up tennis and,
perhaps more importantly, to play the game in great spirit —
The SPEAKER : Thank you,
member. If you could start your question, now, please.
Mr P.J. RUNDLE : Thank you,
Madam Speaker.
I refer to the Perth Casino Royal
Commission: Final report , tabled today, including the findings that the
Crown entities are not presently suitable to continue to hold the gaming
licence for the Perth casino, and the 59 formal recommendations to overhaul
legislation, increase powers and penalties, and improve the Gaming and Wagering
Commission's resources.
(1) Will the
minister table the time line and implementation plan for the reforms
recommended in the report in the Parliament?
(2) If so, when will this occur;
and, if not, why not?

AnswerView source ↗

(1)–(2) Yes,
it is a very comprehensive report of nearly 1 000 pages involving 59
recommendations. We, as a responsible government, set up the royal commission,
and we, as a responsible government, will go through each recommendation and
examine each recommendation carefully and respond according to how we think it
should be responded to. I can assure the member that we will be acting very
quickly on some of those recommendations. The member will be told about that
when we debate it in Parliament.
